Orthopaedic Services & Procedures
Dr. Feltham considers himself a joint preservationist, and thus limits his practice to preventing the need for partial or total joint replacement and does not perform any joint replacement surgeries. Baker’s Cysts and peri meniscal cysts are also operated on by arthroscopic and open techniques. Dr. Feltham performs all ligament, meniscal and tendon surgeries around the knee and shoulder as well as most fracture repairs around the ankle, knee, shoulder, and elbow.
A detailed list of services are below:

- minimally invasive procedures for
- partial and complete rotator cuff tear
- calcific tendonitis
- impingement and bone spurs
- anterior, posterior and multidirectional shoulder instability
- shoulder dislocation
- labral tears and SLAP tears
- biceps tendon disease with both tenotomy and tenodesis
- open pectoralis major repair
- distal biceps tendon repair
- shoulder separation at the AC joint
**Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis may also require surgical intervention.
Elbow
- Arthroscopy
- capitulum OCD, impingement
- loose bodies
- bone spurs
- Open procedures
- distal bicep tendon repair
